This week is a boozy one, as Pete managed to finish a six-pack during the recording, but we still manage to talk fairly eloquently about the weekâs releases, which include seaboard thriller âBlack Seaâ and animated spin-off âPenguins of Madagascar.â We also had quite a lot to say about intergenerational connection, as âSt. Vincentâ tugs at the heartstrings, while the decidedly less wholesome âEastern Boysâ leads to a Joe Wright rant and a discussion about relationships that hits close...

This week was so jam-packed that we had to cut the entire news segment, but don't worry, we'll get around to that in our next episode. Instead, we react to last week's Oscar nominations with theories on everything from the race row, to the surprise Marion Cotillard inclusion, to the unexpected haul for "American Sniper". We also review Clint Eastwood's latest delight, as well as other nominated films, including musical drama "Whiplash," and soul-searching adventure...

It's Episode 42 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. This week we take the opportunity to discuss all things Nicholas Cage, with the release of two of his films, the silly action thriller "Stolen," and the prehistoric animated adventure "The Croods." Cal sat through Ray of Light supremo Jonas Akerlund's "Small Apartments" while his veto of "Identity...

This week's episode features two epic tales of unfortunate evenings, as Pete takes the role of storyteller for a missed flight debacle and a drunken car-key faux pas. We give our verdict on a night from hell for the characters in wedding comedy "Bachelorette," and dig into the viability of the politics in Scandinavian prostitution procedural "Call Girl." Cal went to bat for the rampant action comedy "2 Guns," and Iain Softley's welcome return to directing,...

We've got plenty of material for you this week, as we bring you five films, a healthy news segment, and an epic Preconception Corner. Having already achieved the Sheppard seal of approval, Cal caught up with Stephen Frears' "Philomena," plus we tackle the Romanian Oscar hopeful "Child's Pose," and well-received animated film "Turbo." As Awards Season hots up, we assess where the finalists for the Best Animated Feature Oscar all stand, and look at the nominees for...

It's Episode 23 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. Looks are a hangup in week 23, as Marion Cotillard deglams majorly for Jacques Audiard's "Rust and Bone," and the delayed "Silent Hill" sequel sheds production design for computer wizardry. There's domestic drama in NYC-set "Keep the Lights On" and Greek film "Dinner With My Sisters," while the bloody...

It's Episode 53 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. This week's episode sees some fairly interesting cosmetic changes, as Winona Ryder and Matt Damon roll back the years to star in 70s-set dramas, while the facial hair burdened upon the actors in "The Iceman" gets Cal's dander up. We review the gangster drama, as well as Steven Soderbergh's Liberace movie, "Behind the...

EPISODE 9: Rants of a Summer Night [1:19:37] Boy are the pickings slim in week 9 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. Nolan's Batman finale is still scaring off the cinematic competitors, prompting us to revisit the work of two of the world's most famous arthouse directors. We talk some Olympics, with a review of Danny Boyle's opening ceremony, and ponder whether China can be beaten at...

It's Episode 50 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. Aside from digressions about Meryl Streep's huge haul of Oscar nominations, and a Joe Wright rant about Ron Howard's Oscar win, this week's half-century edition is reasonably tight. The effervescent presence of Baz Luhrmann dominates, as we take a retrospective look at his work before discussing his latest picture, "The Great...

t's Episode 32 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. This week we react to the shock omissions in the recent Oscar nominations, and the dynamic of the race after Sunday's Golden Globes. We tackle two aggressive new releases in period mob flick "Gangster Squad" and vampire drama "Midnight Son," while Cal goes it alone for the decidedly cosier "Safety Not...

It's Episode 19 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. This week we review the high school angst in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and the pains of the aspiring author in horror flick "Sinister." Pete's proposed revenge for last week's "Holy Motors" fell on deaf ears as Cal didn't get around to the daunting-looking "English Vinglish," but Sridevi's...
